Pick Your Paradise

The Caribbean. Mexico. Hawaii. These destinations have been extending their siren
calls to newlyweds for decades. And for good reason: Just when you thought you
knew them, they manage to reveal another wonderful secret, whether it's a
hidden beach, a charming town, or an under-the-radar island. Find out how to
enjoy each region, both on and off the beaten path.

Eleuthera,
Bahamas

East of Providence Island (home to Nassau), this speck of sand
is unspoiled and decidedly chill.

Tobago

Expect verdant mountains aflutter with exotic birds, and beaches
that could have jumped off your screensaver.

Riviera Maya,
Mexico

Two words: Mexican Caribbean -- a.k.a. 70 miles of glorious
white sand, reefs teeming with fish friends, and aqua water stretching down the
eastern Yucatan Peninsula.

Todos Santos,
Mexico

This sunbaked town draws surfers to its swells, painters to its
honeyed desert light, and foodies to its farm-to-table fare.

Oaxaca City,
Mexico

In a high southern valley, this colonial city has cobblestone
streets, art galleries, exceptional cuisine, and leafy plazas where marimba
bands serenade cafe-lingerers into the night.

Isla Holbox,
Mexico

Shoes seem silly once you step from the ferry onto the sand
streets of this carfree isle off the tip of the Yucatan.
